Contest: Name This Frame From Dartmoor Bikes
Hey! Wait a second, if we're naming a bike, shouldn't the prize be the bike that we just named?
Knowing very little about this Dartmoor company, this bike seems to be pretty straight foreward using some proven design methods. Looks to be solid in the long run. But I don't see the "assymetrical swingarm construction". It just looks like a bike that you could ride day in and day out. Hard to say without any geometry or specs.
So...how about the name of "Ride"? Probably taken or otherwise patened to death.

Hyper Cam Zink Edition Bikes Available at Walmart
@louiscypher: It all really started to make sense for me when corporations started to use the term "Human Resources". Pardon me, I am a person, a Human Being. Not a resource to be mined, used up until nothing is left, then move on to the next resource. Aaah, next outsourcing. The degradation of society by way of the almighty dollar!

@jaih: exactly! I can't believe that I actually read through all this pissy negative crap. Like it's the first time standards were lowered by Wal Mart.
I dislike Wally World as much as the next person, but I would have been soo stoked to get that bike as a child. All of the bikes that I rode growing up were hand-me-downs or yard sale bikes that sometimes had to be pieced together. Didn't have my first NEW bike until I was into my 20's.
The truly sad part for me is that many low income Americans will still scoff at spending $200 for a bike when they still have the means to get a smart phone & data plan, cable TV, and other B.S. that I do just fine without. Maybe they can take an EBT card to buy this bike.

Pinkbike Poll - Air Suspension in World Cup Downhilling
@mikelevy: It's funny how I had to scroll ALL the way down here to see anyone mention anything about the size of an air chambers' influence on rate. Does the fact that a MX fork OR rear shock are substantially larger than MTB have anything to do with their use in MX? Also to stir things up further; don't coil springs also have a rising rate? Slightly so anyway? Maybe a 10 foot long coil spring will cure the pesky rising rate.
Oh yeah, COILS RULE!

One Exercise to Rule Them All
I've got to agree with this ^^. While I don't dispute the effectiveness of the deadlift, cleans are the first thing that came to mind when I saw this article. Although I may be biased as the clean is the one lift that will most closely approximate bucking bales of hay, which is something that I attribute to developing my own strength and explosive power as a teenager years ago.

Rad! MAD. I have always wanted to visit my ancestral homeland, now I must take a bike with me. How's the riding in Pico, Azores in general?

Zen Mountain Biking: Improving Your Riding 100% in 30 Days
@ witica:How great it is to be misunderstood! My point really has little to do with math or numbers, but more of people arguing the merits of such a program. Perhaps even your own improvements couldn't be clinically proven as 100%, but you could state that your percieved improvement is 100%.Everyone is so hung up on the numbers. When you train your body, are you not also training you brain?
I still commend the man for offering advice to help us advance in an area that we all love.

Waki, it's hard to argue with those that know all. As far as what happened to the world....ego, greed, instant gratification, the so called civilized society. It's increasing exponentially. Can't be bothered to really WORK for something. Mr.Colvin is spot on.
Thanks to James for bringing this kind of stuff to light, it's obviously stirred some minds around here.
